(X)dialog: Talking shells

I think this is a great option for people who are afread of the shell, but still need some of its functionality. A friend with more Linux knowledge can write a quick Xdialog script, and everybody is happy :-)

Xdialog have an option --no-tags to avoid showing tags, and as such the == thingys... I think dialog have it too.

Also, you can use `` and sed to avoid the temporary file issue. Then, you don't even need writable memory to run the script (handy for installation).
